About
About
The Coat of Hopes is an expanded craft practice – literally, a coat stitched with patches – made, worn and walked from the South Coast of England to Glasgow in 2021, (in London joining fellow pilgrims on the Camino to COP26). Since then the Coat has been travelling around Britain by invitation. It now commences a new chapter in its journey, walking from Glasgow to Edinburgh, leaving Glasgow on the 30th July to arrive at St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral, Edinburgh on the 3rd August.
On arrival at the Cathedral the Coat will take up its position in the A+E project space, where visitors will be invited to put on the Coat and engage with its story. After a month in Edinburgh, the Coat will then continue its troubadour pilgrimage on foot, heading south. More information about the Coat and how to engage with its journey can be found here.
